What the Nose Indicates.

Major Sophus Setback, an officer in
the Danish army, on the subject of ply
siognomical indications, to which his
position as inspector of recruits has led
him to devote considerable share of
attention. Major Setback agrees with
Aristotle in putting his faith in noses.
He can make good guess at 'man's
constitution from the size and build of
his nose, for instance, almost invariably
indicating superior cheat capacity and
power of lungs. 1t is still more ac-
curate index to mental qualities, for, be-
longing as it does at once to the most
and least mobile portions of the face,
it faithfully reflects the most fugitive
movements of the mind. In the child
the most nose is the most Insignificant
and least developed portion of the ply
siogomy. 1t is not till the intellectual
faculties come into play that the nasal
organ acquires its characteristics. Saw
ages have no noses worthy of the name.
Major Schack's observations lead him
to conclude that small and retr0uSSe
nose betokens cunning and fnesse; a
straight and thin nose, taste and delica-
cy; an aquiline nose, judgment, reason
and egotism while shapeless and clum-
sy nasal protuberance almost Away in
dictates intellectual dullness and want of
Sa00tt fare.

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-This arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent, Mr..
Chas. P. Knight, No. 211 East Lombard street,
new number). 1t has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
monial as to the general excellence of the article
is the fact that it has never failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty of finish show for
themselves, and any person of experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value.
These paints-all colors, which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for use, which is great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
matter of handling as well as of applying them.
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr..
Knight, the sole agent in Baltimore, handles inn
mense quantities of it, showing that it is not new
to the public, but is really stable article, the
demand for it increasing with each year. Many
of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
covered with this paint and where properly ap-
piled it has failed to give entire satisfac-
ton. The residence of III. @. Longnecker, in
Towsontown, has lately had two coats of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence Of the finish speak for
themselves. Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
themselves that everything we have said about
the Enamel Paint is facts. We have no hesita-
ton in recommending it.

From the Baltimore Evening News"
The MARYLAND INsTITUTE-THE FINE OLD
BUILDING IN BRAN NEW DREss.-Persons who
have passed by the Maryland Institute lately
have been struck by the transformation in the
appearance of the building produced by the re-
painting of the entire structure in attractive and
tasteful colors One of the officials of the Insti
tute stated to Ne0s reporter that the renovation
Of the building was accomplished by means Of
the appropriation recently made by the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore. The work was
done under the personal supervision and direc-
ton of Mr.. Theodore Oster, inspector of building,
and only the very best material was used. The
paint used was that manufactured by the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company, the excellence of
which has become known to the public through
the fact that it has been also used upon the Amer
lean and San buildings, Fords Grand Opera
House, the Carrollton Hotel and many other con-
spicuous structures. Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several of
the directors to use this paint when the appro-
priation was made. He was at first disinclined
to acquiesce in the suggestion, owing to the fact
that he did not believe in ready-mixed paints
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
experienced the worthlessness of many articles
put upon the market under the name of ready
mixed paints, some of which were limitations of
the article suggested by the Institute officials,
and none of which were satisfactory to gentle
man so thoroughly capable of judging the excel
lence Of paint as Mr.. Oster. When, however,
his attention had been called to the buildings
mentioned above, and he had seen a practical
demonstration of the qualities of this paint, he
consented, with his usual courtesy to the wish
of those who had urged him to use the article,
and the result has more than equalled the antici-
pations of those who had urged the use of this
paint.
Mr.. G. P. Knight, No. 211 E. Lombard street,
new number), who is the general agent here,
stated to Neacs reporter that he had been SELL
ing the paint since 1871, and that in not single
instance had it failed to give satifaction to his
customers He also stated that sample cards
showing the different colors were furnished
gratis, on application to him by mail or in person.
The numerous large buildings upon which the
paint has been used are an ample guarantee Of
its exceptional merit, and it will pay anyone who
proposes to do any painting to consult Mr.. Knight
before having the work done.

Owing to the want of space, produced by the
great pressure upon our columns in reporting
the proceedings of the different committees rel
alive to the reunion of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac, recently held in Baltimore, we
have been unable to call the attention of our
readers and the public generally to the new
spring dress Of THE AMERICAN building, except
to announce we had given the contract to Mr.. c.
p. Knight, No. 2lI East Lombard street new
number). The paint used on the building is the
liquid enamel paint, made by the New Jersey
Enamel Paint Company, which has been sold in
this market for fourteen years, and endorsed by
our late Mr. Charles c. Fulton and by many rep
resentative men of our city, such as Mr.. Johns.
Gilman, president of Second National Bank Mr..
Jacob Hartman, president of the Metropolitan
Savings Bank and Washington Fire Insurance
Company: Thomas J. Myer, of Thomas }. Myer
& Co.; j. ID. Mallory, of Reuter- Mallory; Arm
strong, Gator & Co. and many others. The selec-
ton and combination of colors were painted on
a drawing of the building and submitted to Gen.
Agnus for his approval in advance of the work,
and we are most happy to say they have come up
to our expectations, and we cordially invite the
public to inspect the same. For seashore work,
which is so very severe on paint. it has some
splendid endorsements and we suggest, for the
benefit of our patrons, to write Mr.. Knight Tor
sample cards and testimonials.

The Interstate Commerce Law has
cut off so many railroad dead heads that
the sleeping car system is on the wane.
The persons who patronized the sleepers
most were those who travelled on passes,
but now having to pay fare they do not
care to pay extra for sleepers. The poor
porters who depend upon the gener-
osity Of the passengers for the tips
pittances the roads allow them for salary,
are sufferers to considerable extent,
and soma Of them have already been
forced to resign their positions, as they
cannot pick up enough to pay their ex-
penses. 1t seems that the Negro gets
the worst of every deal, no matter who
makes it.
There is little sympathy expressed for
Pullman, however, and it is thought
that he will lower his rates for berths in
his cars, take off the useless conductors
and place the porters in charge as con-
,ductors and porters. and pay them the
same wages usually paid to conductors;
and, by these means, Sir George may
still continue to live up to the style
which accords with his lately bestowed
title.
